Among the stakeholders are our alumni whose connection with the
Department of Art is, undeniably, as coveted as it is essential.
They constitute a virile link not only with the department and
its history, but also with its future, the profession, and the
outside world. They are significant to our existence because of
the experiential insights that they embody, the inspiration that
they constitute for our students, and the professional avenues
that they facilitate.
It is our belief that maintaining contact with our alumni can
only have a salutary effect on our program and offer our
students the necessary head start that they may need as they
embark on their professional careers. Equally important is the
financial assistance that our alumni continue to provide, and
for which we remain indebted. Their generous gifts to the
department help in many significant respects, not the least are the numerous scholarships and awards that we are able to
offer our students. The largest gift that we have received in
the annals of our department's history came early in 2003 from the estate
of an alumna, Marian R. Frutiger of Houston, Texas, in the sum
of $60,000.
If you are a member of ISU Department of Art alumni, we would
like to hear from you. We are interested in keeping you
abreast of our progress. We would like to exchange information and news with you,
and perhaps link you up with one or two colleagues. Please send us a note
at
artdept@isugw.indstate.edu or
call (812) 237-3697.
